    I read something about people having to jailbreak them if they weren't the original owners. something about software licenses (that can also control performance).

    I've never considered one because, like Trump, I've disliked Musk from the jump. Plus his cars are incredibly boring-looking to me.

    After renting one, I wouldn’t buy a Tesla. Touchscreen controls for everything suck. There’s also the build quality issues, but then again Toyota’s bz4x came out and had to be recalled immediately because the wheels fall off :facepalm:.

    Is UA rooting against anti-racists, and silent on racists, and thinking we won't notice again?
    What's this, the hundred-thousandth time now?

    Nice try, but Antifa are not anti-racists no matter how many times you yell it into the computer.

    Find me a tweet of them kissing the Klan, or the Proud boys, and that little conspiracy theory will have teeth.
    Until then...

    Jesus, their side can't tell socialism from communism, and doesn't know "grooming" isn't a synonym for "admits gay people exist".

    If that’s your only criteria for what constitutes racism then I have bad news for you.

    Oh, you mean that Tucker Carlson "anti-white racism! :weep:" shit?
    Lemme know when an Antifa drags a Klanner behind a truck until his head comes off.
    Shit, so much as find me an Antifa Karen trying to get a white family arrested for having a barbecue in a park.

    I won't hold my breath for it.
    I'd pop like a Dig Dug villain.

    Fascism. Are you under the assumption that people who are against fascism can't be racist?

    Oh speaking off, have I shown off what one of my partners got me as a B-Day present?

    I was initially a little concerned about getting a tattoo sight unseen (they said I could either trust them or they would get it) but it turns out they might actually know me after all. :wub:

    Ooooh, shit's about to get real juicy. Somebody hacked Twitter and got all kinds of personal data. It gets better. There's a distinct possibility that Twitter knew about this months ago and covered it up. So, the board may have figured that they'd sell the company to Elon, and when the data got dumped, he'd get the blame. But wait, there's more! A lot of the data is personal info, things like phone numbers, etc., for EU government officials. Now, one of the things that the EU likes to do is go after American corporations that they think have violated EU law. Meaning that current and former Twitter execs could find themselves in some very hot water soon.
